Update 5

C:\PHP>pear upgrade pear
pear/pear is already installed and is the same as the released version 1.9.3
upgrade failed

C:\PHP>pear -V
PEAR Version: 1.9.0

Pear upgrade pear thinks I am 1.9.3 but pear says it is version 1.9.0

Answer 1

I'm a really newbie but hope to be of any help.

I just succeeded installing PHPUnit a moment ago.

My env. is Wamp2.1.

I don't know exactly how this works but it worked for me, so try this.

pear clear-cache then,

pear install -a -f phpunit/PHPUnit

Somewhere in the failing message, I saw something about cache so I used clear-cache.

It did some trick in installing process, I guess.

Good luck!

Answer 2

From the manual page

pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
pear channel-discover components.ez.no
pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com

pear install phpunit/PHPUnit

Make sure you have the two extra channels that are required.

Edit:

Try following this advice: pear update-channels

Answer 3

could not extract the package.xml file from "C:\Program Files\PHP\tmp\YAML-1.0.5
.tgz" Unable to create directory 'C:/Program/tmpFA83.tmp'
Unable to create path for C:/Program/tmpFA83.tmp/package.xml

This is a bug in pear installer. It can't deal with the SPACE in your path and tries to read the wrong files. Installing your php in a folder without a space is the only 'fix' i know about :/

Update 5:

pear install --force --alldeps pear/pear

do all channel updates it asks for

pear install --force --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit

if asked for channel updates, do those and repeat
